2017 Country Music Year in Review
It seems like just yesterday we were counting down from 2016 to 2017, it’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun. 2017 also known as Canada 150 came with its share of highlights from the JUNOs to the Grey Cup and plenty of amazing milestones in between. Here’s a look back at the year that was and the year, we predict, lies ahead in 2018.
Top 20 Moments of 2017
As we say farewell to another year we thought it would be fun to look back at 20 (in no particular order) of our favourite moments, in pictures, from across Canada.
Grey Cup ends in true Canadian fashion with snow, dogsleds, mounties and Shania Twain
It’s being called one of the most Canadian Grey Cup’s in many years and what better place or time for it to happen than Canada’s Capital as part of our 150th Anniversary celebrations.The event wrapped up an incredible week of entertainment that brought thousands of visitors to Ottawa, and we were there for all of it.
Ooowhatanite as the Grey Cup Concert Series comes to explosive end!
After three solid days of entertainment it was time for the Grey Cup Festival to come to an end, well for us anyway.

Jess Moskaluke to kick off 2017 Grey Cup Festival with Country Night
As we roll into November most of the leaves on the trees may have fallen, the weather may be getting colder but the action on the football fields across Canada is getting hotter than ever with all roads leading to the Grey Cup in Ottawa on November 26…but first we’ll need to party at the Grey Cup Festival and who better than to kick off the party than JUNO Award winner Jess Moskaluke.
Shania Twain announces North American tour
When Shania Twain rolled through North America a few years ago we thought that it would be her last tour. When the queen of Canadian country music released new music this spring and summer with promise of a new album to be released this fall fans across the globe were hopeful that she would tour again. This morning those hopes were confirmed as Shania Twain announced a massive North American tour with plenty of Canadian stops.
Stars and Thunder descend on Northern Ontario in 2017
Having spent over half my life in Northern Ontario seeing this week’s all-star announcement by the Stars and Thunder International Fireworks & Music Festival got me very excited!
What’s wrong with Canadian Country Music? #MondayMusings
With another year of Juno’s in the history books the thought occurred to me last night that, well for one, Canadian Country Music is not very well represented at the awards that are supposed to represent the best of Canada and, for two, Canadian Country is all but absent on the international scene, or at least south of the border.
